stay-at-home

 Another weekend spent hunkered down.  Some of Utah's ski resorts have opened: Brighton, Brian Head and Park City Mountain Resort opened Friday 11/20, while Alta is due to open Monday 11/23, Snowbasin on 11/27 and Snowbird on 11/30.  We did go up to Alta Saturday morning to pick up our season passes; mountain employees were busy at Wildcat base, practicing setting up the corrals with "ghost lanes" to help with social distancing.  We got our passes but continue to fret about skiing: whether it's safe, whether it will be fun at all with all the necessary restrictions, how to get up there, etc.

Other than that, we stuck around home, staying distant and safe while Utah's coronavirus numbers climb ever higher.  Milton and I took a couple of long walks - although it got down into the low 20s, Saturday was especially gorgeous with clear skies and sunshine.  I baked socca and lemon blueberry breakfast cookies, plus a vegetable soup and black-eyed peas and collards.  I even vacuumed, whether it needed it or not (it did).

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, we'll have a few days to get out and do something more interesting than soup-making and laundry, I promise.  Until then, stay safe!
